Lets see those corals on your back glass or overflows.

Spongodes on the back and GSP on the overflow.

I'm gonna need some spongodes. I like those.

It's really a nice hard coral. Very durable and fast grower

Never seen it here.

Never seen it here.

You'll most likely need to order it online, from members here or if your LFS can get ORA corals.

Thats a nice looking tank. Thats what im looking for, multiple corals used as an aquascape on the back. Love the gorg up there. Does it block light from the corals underneath?

Long Sy Monti and Purple Haze Monti are growing on my back glass.

The gorgonian blocks light.. it's a perfect place for lower light corals tho...

Is that a zoa colony on the overflow and cascading down the left side towards the front of the tank? Beautiful tank!

 

[RussiReef]

Heres my Purple Haze

Wow. Looks awesome.

Stupid question, how do you glue corals to the back of the tank?

Apply cyanoacrylate to the coral first, then stick to the back and pray it sticks?

 

[snakejacques]

I just use the magnetic frag plug and that Monty just grew right up the back after got too big

I glue them to places where there is coralline, it works better than straigjt to the glass. Smaller frags work better, so they can grow onto the glass "properly" before their weight pulls them down

The coralline bit is an interesting point. I know that conditions that lead to coralline growth will also be favorable to corals. They also say that coralline algae is one trigger that attracts coral larvae to a location

However, coralline grows on random parts of my glass for no rhyme or reason. Would this theoretically mean that some places on my glass are better for coral growth than others?
